K-16 AIR BASE – United States


Army Garrison-Yongsan officials met
for a strategic planning conference
April 6 at the K-16 Community
Activity Center. More than 30
managers and employees discussed
the road ahead and how to continue to
provide quality services.
“The purpose of today’s off-site
conference is to look to the future,”
said Garrison Plans, Analysis and
Integration Director Barry Robinson.
“This will define the way ahead.”
After discussing revisions to the
garrison vision and mission statements,
participants separated into smaller
groups to come up with specifics.
“We talked about challenges and
opportunities,” said Public Works
Director Michael Chung. “For DPW,
our biggest challenge is the aging
infrastructure.”

met April 5 at the Community Service Building.
“The committee includes representatives from
